In Dornbirn / Austria you will find the museum with the largest collection of Rolls Royce-cars. I really did not expect to see more than just a few cars, but the total number of Rolls-Royce-exhibits is more than 1000 - thats not only cars, but also all sorts of RR-accesories.
Cars are displayed in a museum, 3000 sqm wide and there is also a garage, where such cars are repaired and restored and you can walk there and watch the workers.
You will even see the original Rolls Royce of Laurence of Arabia, not in a perfect condition of course, but maybe perfect for its time and for the purpose it served for in the deserts.

Friedrichshafen is not only the home of the Zeppelins, but also of the Dornier aircraft-production with some of the most unique airplanes on earth. You have certainly seen the DO X on older photos, the largest water-airplane that was ever built.

In Friedrichshafen you will see the excellent Zeppelin-museum and the museum of the Dornier-airplanes and Friedrichshafen is just about 15km from Lindau.
In my 1st photo: the original table-set-up for the passangers onboard of the Zeppelin
In my 2nd Photo: a Maybach Zeppelin, one of the strongest cars of that time and the Maybach-company also produced all the V-12 engines for the Zeppelins
In my 3rd photo: a cabin inside of the Zeppelin
My 4th photo: the saloon of the Zeppelin with the look-out
My last photo: the inner construction of a Zeppelin

In Wolfegg you will find the excellent car-collection of the late motor-journalist Fritz B. Busch, an excellent collection including a few unique exhibits like the world-record-car for Diesel-engines, that was driven by Fritz B. Busch himself (my 2nd picture).
He was also testing one of the first VW-Golf in 1974 on the Panamericana between Alaska and Fireland 35.000 km in 94 days.
I have a lot of photos of this museum in my Wolfegg-page !

Most townhalls on earth have a great front and a backside that does not really look very special. This is different in Lindau and there the backside of the old townhall is even more beautiful in my opinion than the front side on Bismarckplatz. But maybe this side was the front once, when the building was built, as this is the side facing the lake.

Haus zur Krone is the oldest inn in Lindau and it is dating back to the year 1443. The building has an interesting facade with some really great frescoes and it is still a hotel and restaurant nowadays.
In my last picture you will see its guild-sign, a great work of art !
This Haus zur Krone is about half way between the old Townhall and the port, in Ludwigstrasse 5

Hauptzollamt is the main customs-authority in Lindau and you will find it next to the port. This building is surrounded by a high wall from 2 sides and there it also looks a bit like an old castle (see my 3rd photo!).

In Lindau you will still find some interesting remains of the medieval townwalls and in a tiny part of it you can even walk on top of the wall, just like the defenders of Lindau had done it in the medieval times, that place is next to Diebs-Turm, see it in my main photo here !

Diebsturm (the thieves' tower) was a watch tower built in 1380 to protect the Medieval wall. Very funny is the long hair that fall down from the window like the fable.

I took a day to ride my bike into Switzerland through Austria. How often can you ride a bike in 3 countries in one day.

great architecture in a scenic landscape
Lindau is an interesting town on Bodensee / Lake Konstanz. Take a walk through the old part of town and you will find lots of interesting houses and some remains of the medieval townwalls.
